An actor with 40 years of experience explains when multiple agents help your career and when they hurt it. Exclusive representation gets you fewer auditions but better ones. Multi-listing is sometimes banned by casting directors in certain markets.
When I started acting over 40 years ago, I decided to begin working with the very first agent that I auditioned for. And I was so new to the industry and really didn't know very much that it wasn't until I started going on auditions and actually being on sets to learn that most of the actors in my particular area actually freelanced, and no one had exclusive contracts. And that seemed to make sense to me. You know, the more agents you have, the more submissions, the more auditions, and hopefully the more booking. But freelancing with multiple agents isn't always the smartest thing to do, and, and actually, in some areas, it's not even allowed. So how do you know if working with someone exclusively or multi-listing is best for you? Well, I'm going to walk you through various scenarios so that you will easily be able to determine which is best for your career. To watch the full video, click the link in my bio or the link below.
